Nuno Felting Workshop

Nuno Felting Workshop

What is felting? It's the seemingly magical art of transforming separate threads of fine wool fiber (roving) into a solid and durable piece of fabric. Color and texture can be varied through artistic design and choice of materials. "I'm drawn to the unpredictable nature of felting and other fiber arts. You must form a respectful relationship with the organic fiber you work with; it won't be bullied into submission!" Give it a try! It's a fun activity that everyone can enjoy, and the results are unique and beautiful.

This workshop introduces students to the nuno felting process, the end result of which will be a unique silk scarf. Water, suds, and some rolling, throwing, and bashing will not only be fun and informative but have been known to release stress as well!
